If you are using NT4 Workstation (not Server) it crashes after patch 823559
and 823980 are installed - you have to uninstall 823559 and rely on your
firewall to stop the virus.  Also there are incompatibility issues with
Intellimouse (older versions) and some recent patches [in this case you
would not be able to log in at all, however].  You have to have the latest
version of intellimouse drivers - get them before you do anymore updates.

Microsoft no loger support NT4 Worstation so refuse to fix the problem.
